Without recognizable effort or plan to move forward on issue 2656, I will  
not hold the release of 2.16 off.  I don't see that this is a regression,  
so stopping the release will leave users with a strictly worse stable  
release of LilyPond.

So the developer blackmail in this case is "if you don't try fixing this, I  
will release" rather than "if you don't fix this, I will not release".

I want a release numbering that gives me the freedom to do several 2.16  
prereleases.  But that does not mean that I will pick a release plan that  
_forces_ me to do several 2.16 prereleases.
